Joel Hilchey lives in Dundas with his wife and young children. Joel is an ideas person in the truest sense — blending sharp observation, insight, and a healthy disregard for conventional thinking. He is the Executive Producer & CEO of Beanstalk Creative, a sought-after keynote speaker, and a former engineering instructor at McMaster University, where he taught for over a decade and was named one of the Top 150+ Alumni.
He’s also:
The author of three books (two co-authored with Brandon Love)
A barbershop quartet singer
Former Chair of the Board for the Hamilton Children’s Choir
A semi-competitive joggler (yes — jogging while juggling!)
Joel led us through an engaging and humorous exploration of leadership pitfalls using his framework:
“The 6½ Habits of Highly Defective Bosses.”
